Session log — TIB AI builder, new site for Crossing the Line

3 June 2026, evening · Discovery AI · Hasmukh with Claude · auto-published from the local journal entry. A polished narrative version can be requested in any future Claude session.

Summary

Hasmukh asked to create a new website using the TIB AI builder that Kenn set up, the same one used for the Tech Plus Things site.
I traced the builder to discovery.mobilearn.africa (the tibaai-discovery plugin), read its method, and ran it for him.
The new site is for Crossing the Line, a weekly video podcast hosted by veteran journalist Ryland Fisher, who interviews a wide range of South Africans. YouTube: @CrossingTheLinePodcastCPT.
I looked the show up and built the preview on the real thing: real guests (David Africa, Stanley Jacobs, Vicky Sampson), the real topics, the weekly IOL feature, and Ryland's background as a former Cape Times editor.
Hasmukh chose a bold, editorial look. I designed a bespoke one-page site: the latest interview big at the top, the full catalogue below, a "line" motif tied to the name, in a warm dark palette with a red accent.
I checked it with my own eyes on both desktop and a phone, then published it to the private preview area behind the password gate, next to Tech Plus Things.

Decisions

Run the builder via the agent path (I conducted it), not the self-serve web chat.
Look and feel: bold and editorial (Hasmukh's pick of three).
Built as a private preview to review first, not a live public site.
Used only verified facts about the show and its guests. Photo and thumbnail spots are tasteful placeholders for now.

Changes made

Added a new private preview at the builder: discovery.mobilearn.africa/crossingtheline/ (a single self-contained page), then re-tuned it to the show's real brand once Hasmukh sent the logo. The header is a light bar carrying the full colour logo (Hasmukh's choice), the footer keeps the white logo on the dark band, the browser-tab icon is the logo mark, and the whole palette is the brand's blue and slate. On phones the header shows the logo and a Watch button. Owned by the discovery account, sitting behind the same password gate as the other previews.
Added a no-cache instruction to the preview page so browsers always fetch the latest version (a saved older copy had briefly shown Hasmukh the previous look). Fresh link shared: discovery.mobilearn.africa/crossingtheline/?v=3
No existing site, page, or setting was changed. Nothing public was touched.
Local working files: content/crossingtheline/index.html (the page), content/crossingtheline/brief-notes.md (the research and decisions). Small local helper files for previewing only: .claude/launch.json and scripts/serve-crossingtheline.js.

Follow-ups

Hasmukh to confirm the genuine latest episode to feature in the header (I used David Africa, the most recent I could verify).
Logo received and applied (header, footer, browser-tab icon) with the colours matched to the brand. Still needed: guest photos, a Ryland portrait, and real video thumbnails for the placeholder image blocks.
Optional next steps if he likes it: a separate episodes page, real video thumbnails, then publishing it to a real address.
Separately, three earlier session logs are still queued to publish to the documentation site (magic sign-in email check, overview page tidy-up, ZoomISO course).
